Haskell County, Texas, has about 5,400 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Haskell County Sheriff's Office and one city agency. An arrest leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the District Attorney files charges, a case in the Haskell County District Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Haskell County
The Haskell County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Haskell County. It reported 3 arrests for 2025.
One city in Haskell County reports its arrests to the FBI separately:
- Haskell, 3,067 residents: 21 arrests reported for 2025.
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
The Stamford Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Haskell County, so its arrests are not broken out for Haskell County here.
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Haskell County
The FBI publishes every agency's monthly arrest counts on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Haskell County Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Haskell County and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
So far in 2026 the jail has held about 380 people on an average day, up from about 360 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 562 beds, and it is running at 67 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Haskell County
Whether someone was arrested in Haskell County, and what came of it, shows up in two places: the case index of the Haskell County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at haskellcountytx.gov/page/haskell.District.Clerk, phone 940-864-2030); the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at haskellcountytx.gov/page/haskell.District.Attorney, phone 940-864-2072).
Texas is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the Conviction Database search lets anyone look up convictions and deferred adjudications by name, for $3 a search, through the Texas Department of Public Safety. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Haskell County
